"This class was wonderful! Linda is very patient and she explains each stitch as she goes along. She is easy to follow, and she has a very soothing demeanor which gave me confidence to try new things (I am a beginner crocheter). I just love how detail-oriented she is! Every step of the way she gives tips for polishing the look of your work. She addresses all of the little issues that you may have, and she helps you make everything look great if you are a perfectionist like I am. ... Thank you so much, Linda!" - westiefreak05Seattle, WA

My First Class

by Mossy3 on February 20, 2015

I have been crocheting a few years but don't think I am very good yet. I enjoyed this class & I will be taking some more.

My Mom taught me what I know, that was several years ago. She was very good at it, she could not read a pattern she just looked at the item. I have to have step by step instructions. Sure wish she was here to help me now. I will not get any housework done since I have found these classes. Lol Thank You so much‼️
